Accreditation For Information Security Management Systems (ISMS)
Certification bodies offer Information Security Management Systems certification to organizations that have demonstrated the implementation of a system for managing information security. ISO/IEC 27001 provides a framework for establishing, implementing, operating, monitoring, reviewing, maintaining, and improving an information security management system (ISMS). The design and implementation of an ISMS are influenced by the organization’s needs and objectives, security requirements, processes, size, and structure.
To obtain ISO 27001 accreditation, a certification body must adhere to ISO/IEC 17021 and other international requirements outlined in the Specific Requirements for Accreditation for ISMS Scheme.
